Typical of Nolan movies women exist as objects for or barriers to the man's actualization and actor charisma is a stand-in for character; The Dink has a great cast but it's more earnest than funny. Jake Johnson delivers but it needed more jokes #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
Gone With The Wind is a seething trashfire of racist propaganda. It also happens to be the greatest film ever made. youtu.be/INbUGkKc5Y8

Actor charisma as a stand-in for character is a central Nolan trait so it's The Prestige, Insomnia, and Interstellar

Miserable week for comedies. I like Eric Andre and John Cena but it needed a joke every 20 seconds and you're lucky to get one every 20 minutes. Ladies First looks like trash, which is fitting for a trash film #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
lol, "he rejiggers Homer and Virgil" HAS ANYONE ELSE DONE THIS BEFORE? *looks nervously at the Italian peninsula in the 16th century*
Great week for performances: Denzel and Sarita Choudhury have incredible chemistry, Kirsten Dunst is incredible Brezhnev and Nixon getting stoned at the Washington Summit is a good bit #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

how we know it's 1899: ✔️ US President threatening Spain ✔️ US warships off the coast of Cuba ✔️ women's right to vote earnestly being debated in the public press ✔️ everybody's remembering the Maine
Erin Dwyer aka Ginger Is A Construct@erindwyer.bsky.social · 4w agoWell he’s threatening Spain so I don’t know what day it is but it’s clearly 1899.
…there amidst smoke and sweat, they gave back, without grudge, or loss of time in the sending, in kind whatever the enemy sent, globe, and cone, and bolt, hollow or solid, an iron greeting to the rebellion, the compliments of the wrathful Republic.”
The Invite is an utterly dominating comeback by Olivia Wilde. Really enjoyed that the last scene of the film is the first time that she and Rogan are the same plane. Thoughtful, well-made movie #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
I liked when I used to search phrases in other languages, Google would translate them to English because of my browser defaults. Now it changes the results to the language I searched in and gives me an AI summary that I can't read. This is obviously superior and it's me who's the fucking problem
Everyone is going to say Jeremy Ironsides in Dungeons and Dragons. But it's actually Jeremy Ironsides in Margin Call. Or Jeremy Ironsides in The Lion King. Or Jeremy Ironsides in The Man in the Iron Mask
Jess Nevins@jessnevins.bsky.social · last mo.Q: what actor or actress chewed the most scenery in a single movie? I'll start: Jon Voight in ANACONDA.
Mrs Jennings sprinting through London, dodging carriages and steaming piles of horse shit, to share a pivotal piece of gossip is the best tracking shot in cinema. Perfectly voyeuristic film; Ang Lee really gets how horny it was #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

I've been hearing everyone since 4:30am. I'm surprised it took this long
![Wikipedia screenshot: Less than four days after the attack began, a sudden, very heavy thunderstorm—possibly a hurricane—put out the fires. It also spun off a tornado that passed through the center of the capital, setting down on Constitution Avenue[48] and lifting two cannons before dropping them several yards away and killing British troops and American civilians alike.[49] Following the storm, the British troops returned to their ships, many of which were badly damaged. There is some debate regarding the effect of this storm on the occupation. While some assert that the storm forced the British to retreat,[48] historians have argued that their intention was only to destroy the city's government buildings, rather than occupy it for an extended period.[50] It is also clear that Ross never intended to damage private buildings as had been recommended by Cockburn and Cochrane.[13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:swf2pmz4lk42hkll35aqwowv/bafkreicpj4ok3b7rhd4mtziholtamaxst6q2rnea7bezxunx5tehucyhca)
